I think the two additions to the confidence in the public administration of justice cover the concerns without shifting the onus. In other words, if you say that the firearm was a part of the offence, and that gets added to the section that the public would lose confidence in the administration of justice, and of course that there's a minimum sentence for a firearm offence, you've covered off, in my respectful submission, what all parties want to do here, to address the level of confidence and fear, real or imagined. You can do that, if you feel it's appropriate, by the simple change in the subsection as opposed to shifting the onus.
